Redditor discovers a pun Bungie hid in Destiny three years ago

When Destiny launched almost three years ago, one of the many criticisms it drew was that it took itself too seriously. Its story was not only badly-told, but po-faced and joyless. As it turns out, though, it did have jokes. They were just verywell-hidden.

In Destiny’s lore – which I keep saying is rich and interesting but no-one in the office believes me – Wei Ning was a Guardian in a massive army tasked with recapturing the Moon from an enemy named Crota. Crota was a powerful Prince of the Hive, one of Destiny’s nastiest alien races, who worship the mysterious evil force known as The Darkness.
